He was born in India, grew up in many places through his tweens and teens including a long stint in Houston where he went to high-school, came back to India, did his college from here, worked for a bit, left the job at Goldman Sachs and started pursuing music full-time, he was well-regarded in the Indian underground hip-hop scene but this track right here changed everything.

@@abhishekshukla4073 I ain't no nationalist lol but im Indian and proud of my identity, however there's a reason why keralites get defensive because the racism against us is very noticeable, and our concerns are valid.
Man it really feel so good when some one across the world ,can say diffrent worlds mostly gets the lyrics and what he really meant to convey abt our culture from SOUTH INDIA in his song .. we all are not so diffrent , we just seperated by language nd its barrier . Respect to bruh Hanumankind n all support from his MotherLand Kerela India.
First time every watching you reaction. I have watched so many reactions on this songs as I am feeling proud to be an Indian coz of this song. But your reaction is the best I've seen so far. Real, Relatable, Well Informed, Educating, and add a million more adjectives to this reaction. That is how good you are, just had to mention it. Cheers Brother!! Love from India!
Wherever you go on RUclips, if you open the comment section of HanumanKind's video reaction, it takes so much time to come back from Comment section because you just going reading and reading all the comments and liking all of them... what a video from hanumankind... he nailed it
Just like many others Hanumankind's Big Dawgs have been on my repeat. Your reaction video is my favorite because you really chopped up his lyrics and helped me understand the references and how artistic his bars were.
I heard he grew up in Texas so the references don't surprise me, but despite the negativity it's been getting this is dope and something different the game been needing
That stunt is called "Maut ka Kuwa" or the "Well of Death". It is very common in village fairs in North India and some circuses in South India. This is similar to how you have carnival fairs in the US. And this is real stunts and not CGI or some other visual trickery.
That bass line. Sickness. Im 52 yrs old and this shit is sooo sick. Made me feel like I was 11 again and hearing Hip Hop for the 1st time. Just chills all up and down. Props to this young man from India. 👏
Loved your reaction...loved the fact that you accept music has no boundaries and it embraces all cultures. I'm the 90's kid born and bought up in India and we enjoyed hiphop culture then too. Your reaction video has been the best so far...you digged deeper into lyrics and it's meaning and what musicians should bring to the table. 😊
Funny thing you say you could bump this in a car. I found this song because if a Tiktok trend from the car scene. They'd show a shot of the car as they got in with the "Wait a minute" part playing, and when the door closes is when the "Big steppaaahh" part drops and it cuts to them screaming down the highway.
The artist goes by the stage name Hanumankind is an amalgam that blends Hanuman and kind. It's also a play on humankind. Dude was born Suraj Cherikut, in Kerala, India but was raised all over, including a long stint in Texas. So when he says south, he probably means both South India and the Southen states.. :)
I love, love, love this song and video! I saw one of his interviews. He lived in Texas, Africa, and now he's back in India. He said that he wrote the lyrics to this song in 20 minutes. ❤️🔥👏🏾💪🏾👑🙌🏾
Best explanation for the hiding in the hoodie I’ve heard online. Love the authenticity in your reactions. With the bar “some things never leave you fully”, I could see it in your eyes that the lines spoke to you. Real bars get real reactions! Hip hop is a sport!!!
I dont even listen to rap or hip hop often but this song is so fire, i needed to see what some real connoisseurs said about it, and im just SO GLAD Im not the only one who thought he was giving Freddy Mercury with that wifebeater
Scru my man, I respect the hell out of you for reminding the world, it's not just pen skills, no! We need the vibe. The art to making a song is nit one dimensional. And the world and hip hop need to bring back the complete meal 🙌
This dude killed it from the first 10 seconds to the end with the chopped and screwed DJ Screw style shit. Crazy. Houston vibes. Been watching a few reaction videos and your the first to bring up chopped and screwed comments. Subbed.
he was raised in texas, we have a fair few good rappers in the Indian hip-hop scene. One very notable one is divine who is affiliated to Mass Appeal India and has songs with Nas, Dave East, Vince staples etc.
@@RM-vd2ih you are respectfully entitled to your opinion, while im not that into his venture into drill, i love songs like Jungli sher, Nahi Pata, and several songs off Kohinoor have a lot of substance while also being bangers
I seen so many different reaction videos on YT, but I didn't click a single one because I was waiting for the Top Dawg Scru himself, definitely worth the wait, proper reactions 😎
He actually grew up (mostly) in Houston before going back to India as an adult, so the southern influence is definitely strong
Born in India, but grew up in Houston.
@quiet7632 my bad, sorry, I'm like 50% conscious rn
He was born in Kerala, India and raised in Texas, He studied 4th to 10th in Texas after that he moved back to India
